Corner shots.....and a couple of treasures.

 While vacuuming today,
 ( I don't know why the dust bunnies 
always like to have their get togethers here) but it gave me
inspiration for my post.
Now my pictures loaded a little out of order so bare with me
on my silly post.......it could be me who's out of sorts ,though!
This vase I found in Anchorage in a thrift store
I loved it.
 So today I thought I would share corners
about the house.
 I also found these sconces.
and this amazing birdhouse was dropped off on my doorstep.
I love it, I think it looks Swedish.


I spent the day in Homer with a friend and her friend who's visiting
yesterday. the weather was lovely and the mountains were out
but I was driving so it was hard to get some pictures.

But I can't wait to share some of the local talent from the art galleries.

Does anyone have a good squash soup recipe
I have been playing around with different recipes
off the internet and have almost made my whole pot
inedible.....help!

  3. squaqh as in pumpkin, honey?
    i like it with a sweet apple cut into it and a splash of white wine! try it, you'll be hooked in no time. 't is okay for the kids too, the wine just leaves a waft of a taste, you don't get drunk on it... but yumm!!! (for quantities, plse go check the net?). bon appétit!!

  7. my advice 'h'
    for what it's worth:
    forget the soup
    sit in a dust free corner
    and crack open the wine
    cheers

  14. We just do the standard soup recipe with stock, sauteed onions, etc, and no spices as the family veto that. Sometimes if you have over seasoned a peeled raw potato or two simmered in the pot will absorb excess flavouring - bit like a colour catcher in the washing machine!

  20. Only dust bunnies? I think we have dust elephants here at my house. (I really do clean all the time, but can't seem to get rid of the dust! It's back the next day! Sigh.) Your budgie vase is so pretty! I love your yellow chair against the blue walls, and all the fabrics and your enamelware... Loveliness everywhere I look.
